They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣

    If things keep going as they are (and maybe already), there’s no chance for a free and fair midterms election. The last election was the most important one and we blew it.

      I don’t think we did. Remember when the traitors had their hands on physical voting machines and source code?

      He didn’t win. He wasn’t shot. He’s on the list.

      I agree we jumped off the cliff. But since I’m not ready to smash against the rocks, I’m holding onto any rational hope, even if it’s akin to fashioning a parachute out of our shirts on the way down.

        Same. Cognitive dissonance allows me to both acknowledge reality and cling to hope at the same time. You never know if it’s really hopeless until you’ve actually hit the rocks, so let’s go ahead and try to make that parachute.

        I live in a red state but I’ve still always voted so it won’t be that different for me anyway. 🥲
